    Three naval personnel in dark blue uniforms are operating what appears to be a mounted weapon system (likely an M2 .50 caliber machine gun or similar crew-served weapon) on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. A water splash is visible in the background, consistent with live-fire training. The personnel are wearing hearing protection and at least one is wearing protective gloves.
